That's actually a good hack. I was at Bitcoin2024 conference this year. There was one guy that did a genius thing. He was wearing a T-shirt with an ad of himself. Like literally. Headline. Image. CTA. QR-code. Everything on one big T-shirt. When I talked to him at the last day of the event, he showed me his LinkedIn. He got over 250 connection requests. And all of those connects were highly targeted people working in web3 and crypto. P.S.: I just checked his page. He started a new position at fintech startup.

That's actually quite true. I got my current job by building out portfolio. However, it was a conversion mechanism, not attraction mechanism. Not really sure if writing articles or answering questions on forums is an efficient method. Try this instead: 1. Create a Notion portfolio template - List out there your resume and 1-3 relevant projects snapshots - At the top of the page use Headline [company name] - [job role], and company picture as background - add 3 hot bullet points [who are you], [what do you do for fun], [why you are good for job] 2. Then go to wellfound and search for companies hiring role you want to get - Customize template for specific company - Record 30s loom - Send it to HR via email 3. Prepare for interview

Online Courses: Take online courses to upskill and stay current with industry trends. Certifications: Earn relevant certifications to boost your credibility and resume.

Be different. Remember Gilfoyle from Silicon Valley. How would he get new job offers? Seconds. Why? First of all, he let everyone know that he is super good at his work. Plus he cyberbullied everyone else, talking how he is better than them in coding. Secondly, he clearly demonstrated his negatives. He rude, sociopath and satanist. Does it hurt him? No, when HR sees it, she understands that there's no need to search for weaknesses herself. Plus, it removes doubt from his technical capabilities. Since all weakness are already found, no one searches for other ones. At last, he was an extremely active in engaging on social media, forums and tech events. So, many knew him and remembered him.
